Silicon Valley does not like non-profit organisations
Non-profit??? OpenAI is funded by Microsoft!
You were wrong when you wrote the comment. Now you are right following the Altman coup which replaced the ethically based OPENAI board members with commercially based ones. However Altmann’s vision for OPENAI, namely that it adds hardware to its software therefore acting as a full service company does not necessarily align with Microsoft because then they would be competitors.
Oh? So Microsoft is not the main funder of OpenAI?
So openai is NOT funded by MIcrosoft?
Yes it is, but this does not explain the ructions in OPENAI. It was the fact that ALTMAN went to places as far afield as Saudi Arabia to fund the transformation of OPENAI from a purely software company into a full service company behind the back of the Board that created the ructions. It also raised the possibility of a conflict with Microsoft who is a full service company. It is unlikely that OPENAI can survive as a pure software company.
Hmmm.. you made great play of openai being a non-profit as if this somehow jiustified their operation but you obviously knew it was funded by microsoft, thus ‘non-profit’ is yet another copout. The term non-profit is meaningless (if it ever meant anything in the first place).
This is going nowhere. It seems board was ruffled as well by project Q which they were not aware of and which takes CHATGPT to a new level.
